Yes, but if it's your third location of 3-2-1 then it can also make sense to weigh it against data recovery costs on damaged hardware.

I backup to Glacier as well. For me to need to pull from it (and pay that $90/TB or so) means I've lost more than two drives in a historically very reliable RAIDZ2 pool, or lost my NAS entirely.

I'll pay $90/TB over unknown $$$$ for a data recovery from burned/flooded/fried/failed disks.

So you don't test your backups to Glacier ?
Of course. I don't retreive all 4+TB every week or month.
